In her autobiography, Veronica Lake, wrote: "The Navy, proud of Slattery's Hurricane and the salute it gave to Navy pilots, previewed the film in its 90-ton giant aircraft, the Constitution . Eighty-six people made that flight and circled around Manhattan for three hours, ate lunch and watched Slattery's Hurricane . A temporary projection system had been installed as well as a silver screen in the front of the plane... and some writers covering the flight speculated on what use in-flight films might have in commercial aviation. If they only knew.".
